Our 10 contestants had until Sunday at midnight PST to submit their skirt entries for Round One in the Super Online Sewing Match. The Round One challenge was to "Design & Sew an A-Line Skirt with Deborah Moebes" on Craftsy. We're so impressed with the skirts!

We want to get to know our 10 Contestants a little better! We have a new question every round of The Super Online Sewing Match, and we'll share their answers and photos here. Today's question: How did you learn to sew? ...

One thing I really miss about owning a fabric store is always knowing about new collections and patterns and having a sense of popular trends. Luckily we have many wonderful sponsors who can keep us in-the-know! We asked each of them to send us a list of few hot items for you to check out.

Deborah Moebes of Whipstitchis the class instructor for our Round One challenge, Design & Sew an A-Line Skirt on Craftsy. Each pattern designer in the match will share a post each round of the contest, helping you learn a skill or sharing a great sewing tip along the way. Today Deborah shows you how to make in-seam pockets with French seams. It's the key to perfect pockets!...

We recently featured Julia from the Julia Bobbin blog and we're excited to announce that she is also a judge for The Great Online Sewing Match. Learn more about Julia in our interview (you have to check out the dress she designed that won the Australian Tessuti Awards!)...

Our Great Online Sewing Match judge introductions continue with the super-talented Andrea from four square walls. It's easy to get totally lost in page after page of beautiful sewing on Andrea's site...

We missed our sewing trend posts! Melanie's schedule filled up and we've been looking for just the right person to bring back our monthly look at sewing trends. We're excited to share that Rachael from imagine gnats will join us each month from here on out, showing what's new in the online sewing world...

We've loved Florence's work for years. Her Flossie Teacakes blog is a delight, full of beautiful and careful sewing. We're so pleased to have Florence join us as a judge; we asked her some questions to get to know her a little better...
